What this is

THE ascendant is here ♍ a barren Sign, as you may see page 89. and 96. the Sign of the fifth is ♑, a Sign of indifferency in this nature of judgment; the ☽ is in a barren Sign; all manner of Questions. 239 ♄ Lord of the fifth house is Retrograde, and in ♐; ♀ Lord of the ascendant in ♊; both ♄ and ♀ being in Signs neither barren nor fruitfull: the ☽ in the Terms of ♂, ♄ Lord of the fifth, ☿ Lord of the ascendant in the Terms of ♄, afflicted by the presence of ♂, and going to ☍ of ♄, who is Lord of the sixth, as well as of the fifth; ☋ also possesseth the ascendant; a strong argument of barrennesse: for these reasons in Astrologie above recited, I delivered this Judgment, viz. That the Querent neither had been ever yet conceived, or for any reason in Art that I could find, ever would conceive, and that she was naturally barren; for finding the first, tenth and fifth houses, being the principal Angles of the Figure, afflicted, I was certain, the evill impediting her Conception had been upon her, and would also continue. Had I found ♃ either fortunating the cusp of the fifth house, or any aspect to the Lord of the ascendant, or unto ♄, or if reception had been betwixt ♄ and ♂, or ♃ and ♀, or any collection of light from ♂ to ♄, and that Planet so collecting or received by ♃ or ♀, I would not have been so peremptory; but when I found no one promising testimony, I gave my judgment in the negative, viz. she should not conceive or ever have any children; for whoever considers the position of Heaven exactly, shall find it a most unfortunate Figure for having children: as the ☋ was in ☌ of ♄, Lord of the sixth, and ☿ Lord of the ascendant, applying to his ☍, so was the Querent very ill, and extreamly afflicted with the Wind and Chollick in the Belly and small Guts; the ☋ in the ascendant shewed very great pain in the Head, so did ♀ in ♍ being afflicted by both the malevolents, represent extream griefs in the Head, for ♀ in ♍ rules the Head, vide page 119. She affirmed, that the Moles of her Body did correspond exactly to the Figure of Heaven, viz. one Mole close by the Navel, One upon the right Ancle, signified by ♒ on the cusp of the fifth; one towards the right Knee on the inner side of the Thigh, represented by ♄, Lord of the sixth in ♐; one in or neer the member signified by the ☽ in ♍; and ☿ Lord of the ascendant is in ♊, so had the Querent a Scare or Mole on her right Arm, on the outside thereof, &c. When When you find a Question that is so peremptory in the negative , you shall deale discreetly to enquire the time of Birth, and set the Figure thereof, and see what correspondency there is betwixt the Radix and the Question propounded , and help your self in your judgement by discretion ; for if the Radix affirm Barrennesse, it’s impossible any promising Horary Question can contradict its signification : and usually I have found, that whoever propounds a Question to the Astrologer , I mean in their first Question, they have a Sign of the same Triplicity ascending in their Question, agreeable to the nature of the ascendant in their Nativity , and many times the very self same Sign and degree is ascending upon an Horary Question which was ascending in the Nativity, as I have many times found by experience ; for if ♊ ascend in the Nativity , it’s probable upon an Horary Question, either ♎ or ♒ may ascend, which are Signs of the same Triplicity. If one were with Child of a Male or Female, and about what time she should be delivered.
